Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Do you accept insurance?
A: No, I do not accept insurance.

Q: What is the difference between a
nutritionist and dietitian?

A: A "nutritionist" is an un-defined term and is used by a
variety
of people. Some have little nutrition education or are
self-taught and some have
advanced degrees in nutrition - some are very knowledgeable about
nutrition. A "dietitian" is a regulated
term, as one must have either a Bachelor's or Master's degree in
nutrition, complete a dietetic internship (at least 900 hours of
clinical nutrition, community and food service) and pass the
Registered Dietitian exam. While "dietitians" are often
thought of as having a very conventional nutrition perspective, I assure you that
my background has made me knowledgeable in both
alternative and conventional nutrition protocols.

Q: How many nutrition counseling
sessions do you recommend to achieve my goals?

A: While each individual is different and may need different
treatment times, I recommend planning on at least two to three meetings
with a nutritionist over the span of a couple of months. Like
anything, it is impossible to learn everything you need to know in
one day. Additionally, changing the state of your health takes
time and results are not achieved overnight.

Q: I would love to see a nutritionist
but I do not make much money right now. Do you see any
clients with financial hardships?

A: Yes,
I reserve a few spaces for people who are unable to pay the
full amount. Please email me explaining your circumstances and
we will try to arrange a payment amount that will work for you.
